The objective of the Second Shared Growth Credit Project for Niger is to help improve the business environment for investment and trade, strengthen agricultural research and public financial management. The proposed project will focus on reforms to foster shared economic growth and to enhance the efficacy of public spending in Niger. Specifically, the credit supports reforms in three government priority policy areas: (1) Establishing a competitive and diversified economy for accelerated and inclusive growth. This includes a focus on strengthening infrastructure though scaled up investments and maintenance, but also through the strengthening of the institutional and policy framework, an improvement of the business environment, the strengthening of international economic relationships, an improvement in the competitiveness of the economic sectors, and the integration of the youth in economic activities. (2) Food security and sustainable agricultural development policy area will support the implementation of the 3N initiative with a focus on removing key policy constraints to the development of the agriculture and livestock sector and food security, including the reform of the research system, irrigation development, commercialization of the livestock sector, and reform of key elements of the food security system. (3) Enhancing the efficacy of public spending.
